A reasonably researched biography of Hitler that has received mixed reviews. It is disappointing to find that the story of Hitler’s hidden life and deceptive work is hidden in this as in most Hitler biographies. Thus, Payne’s book does not go deeply into Hitler’s occultism, his usurpation of authentic Christianity through twisting of religious words and symbols, and the equal service to evil contributed by Hitler’s inner-circle. Within going into the beliefs in and service to evil practiced by this, the second Anti-Christ on the world stage, an appropriate work on Hitler cannot be written or understood.
